Lisp or Vlisp way to quickly

I know in VBA there is a simple property to get a count of layers. Can one
do this in Lisp without looping thru the list and counting? My goal is to
make a tool that sets MaxSort to 5% larger than the number of layers, as
apposed to the tool I have now that adds a feww hunderd to the value, and
sometimes you need to do the command 2 or 3 times to get the sort to work,
and there is no way (in my current tool) to reduce MaxSort again. Or should
I just set MaxSort to some huge number and be done with it, because it no
longer impacts performance on these modern, speedy machines of ours?

Thanks,
Gordon

 

Gordon,

i think it does not matter how much higher maxsort is 5% to 200%. When it *is* higher than the number of layers the names are sorted. And the time for sorting depends only of the number of layers, but not of the value of maxsort.
